Civil Aircraft: Soviet and Post-Soviet

165

Aviation industry was one of those sectors of the national economy for which the Soviet Union was quite legitimately proud. There was not a single foreign-made winged aircraft on the country's air lines, but our planes were exported to many countries of the world, and also produced in some of them under license. What happened to the once-mighty Soviet aircraft industry today, does it have worthy heirs and successors?

The USSR could rightfully be called a great aviation power - after all, it was she who created every second aircraft that was then in the airspace of the planet! From the assembly shops of Soviet aircraft plants there were as many planes as all the other countries of the world put together. In the 50s and 80s of the twentieth century, dozens of types of civilian aircraft were developed, which not only “got on the wing”, but also successfully went into series, produced in thousands of units - such as, for example, An-2, An-14 , Yak-40, Yak-42, IL-14, IL-76, Tu-134, Tu-154. This is an incomplete list of the most “circulated” Soviet winged vehicles.



In addition, three dozen different types of helicopters were produced in the USSR. Many of them had both military and civilian “versions”. Every year, the country exported seven to eight dozen aircraft, more than a hundred helicopters. The account for successfully sold overseas aircraft engines went to hundreds.

Perhaps the main thing was that everything - from the airframe and engines to the last screw or rivet in these machines was developed and produced by our specialists at our enterprises. The Soviet aircraft industry did not know the word “import” in principle. Our country in this industry could give a hundred points ahead to any Western competitors - and not only in the number of products manufactured (up to hundreds of passenger liners and cargo planes per year), but also in its quality, in the most advanced level of scientific and technical developments. One of the best evidence is the fact that the first supersonic passenger plane to fly into the sky at the end of 1968 was our Tu-144.

“Perestroika” and the subsequent collapse of the Soviet Union inflicted civilian aviation, as well as aircraft manufacturing, almost one of the most devastating blows. Rapid deindustrialization, the destruction of not only the production, but also the scientific, design, testing facilities, the rapid outflow of competent and trained specialists from the industry, and the almost complete cessation of training of worthy personnel capable of replacing them ... It seemed that our country would be doomed to fly forever on the Boeing and Airbus, having buried his own great aviation past, along with the handsome Ilami and Tupolevs, who were put into scrap metal. Nevertheless, in recent years the situation, albeit not quick, but began to change for the better.

It so happened that of the more than fifty enterprises in the aviation industry, as well as several dozen research and development associations associated with it that existed in the USSR at the time of its collapse, the vast majority were located on the territory of the RSFSR. Kuibyshev Aviation Plant (KuAZ), VASO (Voronezh Joint-Stock Aircraft Building Company), Kazan Aviation Plant named after S.P. Gorbunova is far from a complete listing of only the most leading Russian aviation enterprises. All of them, fortunately, continue their work today.

The second "aviation" republic of the USSR was Ukraine. Kharkov, Kiev, Zaporizhzhya aircraft plants, design bureau them. Antonov - all these enterprises were the pride of the Soviet aviation industry. They carried out the production of An-24, An-26 and Tu-134 aircraft and others. Naturally - in close cooperation with other plants and the design bureau of the USSR. The “swan song” of Ukrainian aircraft construction was the creation of such remarkable machines as the An-124 Ruslan and An-225 Mriya aircraft, which the whole world admired. After that, the sunset began ...

In fact, the end to the aircraft industry was built up in 2014 by a complete break in economic and economic ties with Russia. Over the past five years, the same “Antonov” has not released a single aircraft. There are only two opportunities before the Ukrainian aviation industry - to die quietly, or to be bought out by Chinese comrades. The latter, however, is very actively opposed by curators of the "non-down" from Washington. However, now the situation may well change, the Americans will not be up to it, and at least some remnants of the industry will be saved - by selling it to China.

Otherwise, most likely, Ukrainian aircraft plants will suffer the fate of the Tashkent Aviation Production Association named after V.M. Chkalov, who in the Soviet years produced one of the most popular vehicles - the Il-76. Today it is the Tashkent Mechanical Plant, in which there is not a single machine for creating aircraft left - it is completely redesigned for the production of freight railway cars.

So Russia, where civilian aircraft production still continues quite stably, with three dozen odd cars a year, in the end was far from in a worse situation. Let's not forget - the Russian Federation is among the world leaders in military aircraft construction. Let's hope that with civilian things will go no worse over time.

          Galoshes were under a special stamp, but a tractor!
          I will tell you about the blatant fact:
          On the banks of the Amur, amidst the fields
          Caught our simple Soviet tractor
          In the sight of six Chinese batteries.
          Hit a volley, shells flew,
          But the tractor driver was a guy with a head:
          He presses the pedal - and now the goal is not visible
          In the smoke curtain delivered.
          And the tractor soared over the pretty side
          And at the same moment the aggressor responded,
          To protect us frighten by war
          Hit a volley of tactical missiles.
          And our tractor driver, captain Litvinov,
          I looked at the map and turned on the afterburner,
          Calmly bombed over Beijing
          And laid home turn.
          He turned off the reactor over Cupid,
          So as not to frighten native sheep and goats.
          Our Soviet tractor rushed in the sky
          To refuel in your own collective farm.
          And, if the enemy takes action again,
          To prevent us from harvesting,
          Order of the USSR Agroprom
          A harvester will fly to our field.

                      "economy" should be the last criterion for a country where oil gushes out of the ground like a fountain! Let those who buy this oil from us consider liters and tons! Most of the questions are for those who have imposed an unlimited levy on fuel and who allow air traffic from all over the world to the country! And yes, I agree with the statement that the domestic aviation industry was planted not so much by foreign manufacturers (albeit for the sake of and even probably at their submission), but precisely by the niches of "expensive" officials ..

And for the current officials of all stripes, we only knew how to do it.

        I will quote the words of the person whom I knew when he was then head of the Estonian CAA.
        In 1990, our Civil Aviation had 16 thousand aircraft. Of these, not a single Western one, ”said the expert. - We were the first in the world to fly on supersonic passenger aircraft. Our aircraft manufacturers annually produced several types of new aircraft, which were delivered to 40 countries. By 1990, we transported 140 million passengers each year, the Americans - about 200 million, since they have a larger population. Last year, we transported 2019 million. That is, over the past 128 years we have not even managed to reach the level of 30. And the Americans transported 1990 million people last year. China, which was far from us in 850, transported 1990 million passengers last year. In 600, our country became a member of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which today consists of 1970 countries. At the accession ceremony, the head of ICAO then noted: “Of course, we unanimously voted for the USSR to join ICAO because it has 120% of the world's traffic.”
        “Today,” said Oleg Smirnov, “we carry 1% of passenger traffic.” That's what we were and what we became.

            Logic of course you have iron. But during the Soviet era, leyals were mainly on domestic routes, and now every Nyura from Uryupinsk should visit Rome and Paris. The point is not in the number of passengers, but in aviation. In addition, we cultivated one hundred million hectares of agricultural land with agricultural aircraft. In the 90th year, we had 13 thousand aircraft. They blocked all our routes both domestically and abroad. And they were all made in the USSR. Russia has nowhere to go. She is doomed to be a great aviation power. Only political will is needed. Without powerful civil aviation, Russia will not be Russia. Either we will create our own aviation, or others will take this place.

              But here is the problem of the first decade after the collapse. And the fact that many factories were overnight "over the hill", and that immediately opened the market for foreign airlines and aircraft manufacturers. It's always easy to break. It is much more difficult to recover. Moreover, when it is necessary to restore not a separate industry, but the whole country in general.

              Honestly, I did not understand the article at all: a set of slogans from the days of developed socialism. In a heated debate, I will join the optimists - the Russian Federation must fly on its own planes: either fly on its own planes, or fall out of the cage of fashion trendsetters.
              To the creators of the times of the Union - a deep bow, but it's time to stop living with memories - you have to work. It is difficult to restore and it is impossible to do without the support of the State, moreover, at every stage of commissioning, there is nothing wrong with that. For those who haut SSJ, I advise you to remember how it was created, from the progenitor of BRJ, and in what historical period it all happened. Yes, full localization will cost a pretty penny, but it needs to be done. Hopefully, these mistakes were taken into account in the creation of the MSA and the situation with the SSJ will not be repeated: of course, it will not move Airbus & Boeing in the world, but it will be able to serve its market completely. And we need to prepare to aggressively promote its certification - there is a queue of those who want to put a spoke in the wheels.
              There is a blank sheet and a good opportunity to fill it out correctly: use the best of the legacy, attract a new one and take the Russian aviation to a new level. Strongly improve the after-sales service of aircraft: this is not the case when for Ulyanovsk Diamond parts go for months after production localization; two weeks went before localization. It's no secret that this is the Achilles heel of the SSJ.

          On the account that we were the first to fly in supersonic passenger airplanes, I can say, yes, they started, but not we, and not quite fly. We look at the facts; our Tu-144 made its first flight two months earlier than Concord, but the Tu-144S that went into operation was a completely different aircraft. Start of commercial operation of the Tu-144S, December 26, 1976. Flights were carried out by only two aircraft. In total, the Tu-144 completed 102 flights under the flag of Aeroflot, of which 55 were passenger. And comparable to Concord. Commencement of commercial operation - January 21, 1976, it turns out Concord had been carrying passengers for 11 months before the Tu-144S completed its first flight. Well, to compare the fact that over 27 million regular passengers were transported to Concordes for 3 years of scheduled and charter flights, the total flight time was 243 hours, the figure of 845 passenger flights seems to be just a statistical error. The prototype Tu-55 took off earlier and nothing more.

          We didn’t fly especially on Tu 144 - in fact, we only showed that we can make a supersonic passenger plane in 1983, and the program was stopped due to technical problems with engines, the cost of operation and the cost of the ticket, and problems with the organization of flights, 12 units were produced; the cost of the program is more than ten billion rubles per prices of the 70s. The Concord program cost about the same $ 14 billion all Concords gave to airlines for the price of one dollar apiece.

          No. The former minister argued that if our industry does not want to produce what the army needs, and instead, with persistence worthy of better use, is trying to squeeze in the armies of the Soviet era, which are a couple of generations behind, then we will have to buy over the hill and show our military industrial complex that the army specifically wants. Because our military industrial complex for 90 years has got used to communicate with the army in style "take it, there’s no other way, where are you going to get away from us".
          Remind you what our military-industrial complex issued as a "tactical UAV" in 2008? "Tipchak" on four KAMAZ trucks with a line camera and a radius of 40 km. And a sniper rifle (not a DMR, but a sniper rifle) he considered either an SVD or a bolt at the price of two AI AW.
          Or you can recall how UVZ raised the price of the T-90 by 70% over the year - and why, the army’s budget was increased, it’s necessary to master it.

    Baseless optimism. The regional aircraft did not go into the series to replace the An-2. And, I think, under the Minister Manturov and the chairman of the board of directors of the UAC, Serdyukov will never go. MS-21 is waiting for the composite wing and engines. The program to resume production of the An-124 was covered with a copper basin. The IL-112 B production was covered with the same product. You can continue indefinitely. And the RFP drips millions of rubles into the pockets of the managers.

      Because what for, this AN-2 replacement is not needed by anyone. In the places where people live, normal roads have long been laid, where people left, well, you don’t need to fly there. Who really needs to fly and ride in bearish angles at work, so they have helicopters with all-terrain vehicles. At distances of 300 kilometers, the plane does not make sense at all, it is easier to get there by road.

      An-124, even existing ones, are mostly worth it, because it is cheaper to transport goods by rail. On a civilian basis, mono-cargoes requiring such aircraft are rare, and one Volga-Dnepr serves the whole world.

          The point in this case is not the cost of the hour, which, according to the definition above, is a helicopter, the fact is that you simply can’t put even the An-2 into a real bear angle. The helicopter has enough area, a small cut in the forest, and it will not roll over during the take-off run, if there is any figovina on an unpaved runway, it is less afraid of birds, headaches of all airports. An-2 is a car for albeit small, but airfields. Do not forget that in addition to the take-off run margin, he still needs an open space hundreds of meters in front of the runway, where he will not hook anything when climbing or landing.

              I don’t know, I think about 50-60 km / h, but the take-off is always more. Well, now think that on the takeoff you will only come off the ground, there should still be enough strip in front of you at that moment so that you can stop in case of anything. After separation, you continue to move, with acceleration, and now you need to gain height so as not to crash into such a typical object of the Russian landscape as a tree, which can be 20-30 meters in height. How many seconds does the An-2 take for this? And at what speed does he move? If 10 seconds, and the average speed, taking into account the acceleration, which after the separation of the chassis will go more vigorously, will be 25 m / s, then at 250 m after the separation point the strip should be cleared.

              If you do not have a natural field, then forget about the plane.

He needs a fucking runway in length ??? Such sites beyond the Urals can not be counted, and he sits on the ground the only way. And in the presence of floats on the water, and skiing too. The cost of a 1 hour flight with the An-2 is three to four times less than that of the Mi-8. And to prepare a pilot for it is much simpler and easier than for a helicopter.

                      Since then, these villages have become several times smaller and some old people live there, about which the children have forgotten. If there is some kind of production in the village, and people have something to do there, then they will make the way there. Now it’s not the 70s, when there were still a lot of living villages, and the population had few cars. It is strange that people think in categories of 40-50 years ago, when the An-2 could be instead of a bus. At the same time, transport in the USSR was planned unprofitable. Now such a country can only afford in large cities, and nobody will subsidize a few flights somewhere there. At the same time, the An-2 is not PAZ at a price, and the pilot for it is not Uncle Petya, who somehow got a cut. D. Everyone considers profitability.

                        Well, of course, in the absence of normal roads, an airfield will appear on its own. Who will build it there?

                        Understand, An-2, this is not a plane for the deaf, it is a plane for suburban areas and small towns, where for it there will be at least some kind of an airfield with all services (fuel depots, dispatcher, maintenance).

      I agree. But domestic aircraft of older models have higher operating costs. Higher noise pollution.
      In addition, soil strips are no longer relevant in our country and in the West. The fact is that the villagers do not have money for flights. They barely have enough for vodka. A flight of the air force, or the Ministry of Emergencies, or other rare cases do not create enough demand for air travel to the countryside to build new types of domestic aircraft for this demand.

    every second aircraft, then located in the airspace of the planet!

    This has never happened before. Even if the MiG-15 count.
    Every year, the country exported seven to eight dozen aircraft, more than a hundred helicopters

    Almost exclusively to the CMEA countries.
    but also by its quality, by the most advanced level of scientific and technical developments

    Export is its quality.
    One of the best evidence is the fact that the first supersonic passenger plane to fly into the sky at the end of 1968 was our Tu-144.

    It has still not been established for what purpose the Tu-144 was created. Regional supersonic aircraft.
    Soviet aviation early entered the era of insanity.

    This era ended, along with Soviet aviation, the sick freak IL-96.
    The latter, nevertheless, is very actively opposed by curators of the "non-down" from Washington

    And one must not forget that the training of pilots and other specialists for the Civil Air Fleet was the most advanced in the world. In the 80s. the training of aviation personnel was carried out by the Academy of Civil Aviation, the Ulyanovsk School of Higher Flight Training, two higher flight schools, three institutes of civil aviation engineers, 18 flight and technical schools. Also, cadres with higher education in civil aviation were supplied by seven universities of the Minaviaprom and the USSR Ministry of Higher Education.

    Rapid deindustrialization, the destruction of not only the production, but also the scientific, design, testing facilities, the rapid outflow of competent and trained specialists from the industry, and the almost complete cessation of training worthy personnel capable of replacing them ...
    Yes Yes. True, the main reason that we don’t build civilian aircraft (it’s ridiculous to take Superjet as such, of course) is simply because the American and European aviation giants paid some Russian officials for the collapse of the industry, and separately for the fact that large-capacity passenger aircraft no longer built.
    Our officials, organically, in principle, are not able to build and create something, but to destroy it ... The aviation industry, possessing an enormous margin of safety, did not give up for a long time, but it was still broken. So we have no and are not expected to have any civil aircraft industry.

As for the priority in your market, how do you think, who orders SSJ and MS-21 in the first place? Is it the state-owned Aeroflot? Yes, and we had to think about the markets, when the Union was broken, that our products would not turn out to be uncompetitive. Suddenly, it turned out, I’ll show with my finger specifically, Tu brand aircraft turned out to be of no use to anyone, like Il. The military needed "drying", now Sukhoi makes civilian vehicles, and the remnants of Tupoev's design bureau, if they still exist, is high time to disband.

                  Now, be so kind as to play by the rules. You will introduce import restrictions, restrictions will be introduced against you. Opportunities for protectionism and lobbying in a more or less free market are limited.

                  But for some reason you run into SSJ, although unlike those who were immediately blown away in the 90s, it is Sukhoi who fights with the battle that Tu, Il and others merged, and they even merged not in the 90s, but in 20 years until when they decided that in the conditions of Soviet protectionism one can not strain. In the 90s, they already came that way. AvtoVAZ from the world of aviation.

    From the assembly shops of Soviet aircraft plants there were as many planes as they were produced by all the other countries of the world combined.


    That is, the whole world put together did not produce a couple of hundred aircraft per year? I don’t know where such nonsense is taken, but if you throw away small things like An-2, then the most massive airliner in the history of the Boeing-737 is built in the amount of almost 10600 copies. The A320 with 9400 copies can become a competitor, but it appeared in the late 80s. However, this is an indicator of the demand for airliners in the world in recent years 30.

    Of the largest aircraft in the USSR, the most massive Tu-154 and Il-76, numbering about 1000. For a transporter, this is a fig and more. Competitors, for example, have a B-757 of 1050 copies from 1981 to 2004, and before it is a B-727 of 1832 copies. for the period 1962-1984

    An-26 - 1403 copies. An-24 - 1367. An-12 - 1248

    Then the Tu-134 with 854 copies. The machine is just about the same age as the B-737

    As for previous models, the Tu-124 is only 165, and the Tu-104 is 201 copies.

    IL-18 more than 800 copies. The first cars began to be decommissioned at the age of 15.

    IL-62 - 289. The B-747, which appeared a little later, is now approaching 1600 copies.

    IL-86 - 106 units. At the same time, the machine entered service in late 1980. Until the end of the Union another decade. Well, the same wiki writes:

    The period of passenger transportation of IL-86 was relatively short-lived. Due to the extreme inefficiency and noise of the NK-86 engines, the mass decommissioning and decommissioning of this type of airliners began already in the early 2000s. The reason was, in particular, the noise restrictions introduced in the EU, which prevented the IL-86 from flying to most airports in Europe.


    Yak-42 of the same age as IL-86 183 cars. SSJ has already overtaken him.

    Tu-204 went in the 90th year and has not had time.

    I, of course, wildly apologize, but it somehow does not look like the whole world was gagged. And the most popular aircraft are propeller driven aircraft developed in the 50s. By the 80s, a generation gap had already formed, which manifested itself in the failure of the Il-86, the complete failure of the Tu-334 and the readiness of airlines to buy "watermelons" instead of "carcasses" as soon as they were allowed to do so. In principle, the USSR itself should have had enough of these aircraft, some more to deliver to all Poland and Africa, but hardly in the world outside the socialist. countries generally noticed them.

    Soviet aircraft construction began with small aircraft. It was such aircraft that served to train future pilots at DOSAAF. Then the task became more complicated for them. And they began to fly on jet aircraft. In each region there were several civilian airports. In every city there were at least small factories producing spare parts for the repair of civilian helicopters. For each type of aircraft, the deadline for those. services.

    The USSR really belonged to the number of the chosen club from the six most developed countries of the world, possessing a full cycle of creating aviation equipment, including the high technologies necessary for this, as they say today.
    However, this does not mean that one can lie as enchantingly as the author does on this subject.
    From the assembly shops of Soviet aircraft plants there were as many planes as they were produced by all the other countries of the world combined.

    Comparison of aircraft production in the West and the USSR in 1965-1991 (according to Rusavia).
    but our planes were exported to many countries of the world
    Indeed, during the existence of Aviaexport, that is, for 30 years - from 1961 to 1991, 2153 civil and transport aircraft and 3543 helicopters were sold for export, that is, almost 72 aircraft and 118 helicopters per year. This list includes all aircraft, ranging from the sports Yak-18. And there were like a lot of countries - 68. True, Soviet aircraft were mainly bought by Angola, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Benin, Bulgaria, Hungary, Vietnam, East Germany, India, Iraq, Yemen, China, Cuba, Laos, Libya, Madagascar, Mali, Mozambique, Mongolia, Nicaragua, Cape Verde, Peru, Poland, Romania, Syria, Somalia, Czechoslovakia, Ethiopia, Yugoslavia.

      They didn’t buy - just the USSR gave them for barter and loyalty like everything else. Only seven aircraft were sold for money.

              Forgive me, sometimes I catch the minuses already for appearing on the site. And sometimes my old man's character, anti-Stalinist will manifest itself. Otherwise - the United States, Canada, Switzerland, the Slovenian Air Force, Egyptian Air Force, the Bulgarian Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is clear that our Czech Air Force and a little Israel, but Israel are watchmakers, but we helped them a lot after 1945, but that was still in front of me. And you yourself know how many Czech "acrobats" flew in the USSR, and maybe someone older remembers Let L-200 Morava, but I usually held all the acrobats "Zlinks" in my hand, then 43, 143, 243, 242 flew to Zlín Z- 526. Ride Russian semi-clients. Petya Irmus (world champion) allowed me to ride in the z-50, but it was takeoff and landing, even though I tuned the plane for him at a price for the flying club. He himself jumped from the Brno aeroclub An-2 and from the army Mi-8. I did not jump from L-410, no luck. So what else to say? The son was jumping - an officer of the Army of the Czech Republic, the daughter was jumping - a civil economist, grandchildren do not jump, but they take judo and international medals

                On the Let L-200 Morava, I flew home from the regional center, there was such a service - such as an air taxi.

                  Somehow I had to transport the ZLIN Z 143 to Bulgaria, through Hungary and Romania, and while I was not a factory pilot, I was then a sales manager, Well, when we sat in Bulgaria - it was a comedy, but there is no toilet in the airplane. Thank you for the Bulgarian customs officers had a sense of humor. Both we and they had a good drink.

      Comparison of the entire MiG-23/27 and F-14 family, well up to the heap of Tu-160 and B-1B, of course, is interesting, although its meaning is not very clear. Well, at one time there was an idea with a wing of variable sweep, but it was never mainstream. It is interesting with subsonic combat aircraft, where, obviously, one Su-25 is opposed by a whole bunch of Western bombers.

    Dedicated to all wing brothers (I don’t know the author):
    [B] [/ b]
    As the story goes:
    The plane flew home ...
    Let's just say: An-2 from the task,
    “Board 13” is the call sign.

    Low Cumulus Sky
    Unobtrusively storming.
    Our An-2 under the lower edge
    Peacefully flies so-so.

    The flight is calm, smooth.
    Soon the third U-turn ...
    Suddenly, the pilots see ... a tractor ...
    A tractor is floating in the sky!

    Slowly, as the matter knows ...
    The tractor is all right - where to get to from ?!
    An-2 course crosses
    As if it should be so ...

    No one in the empty cabin.
    Even the headlights do not light.
    Here are miracles in sight
    I have not seen either old or young ...

    Clouds Ironing Roof
    Great rushing ... Behind him now
    Vigilantly watch in An-2 quieter
    Two crazy pairs of eyes.

    Commander like a gun,
    He immediately delved into the scale:
    It smells like kerosene.
    It’s time to react ...

    “To say out loud - take doubts ...
    Better honestly keep silent:
    In aviation vision
    Doctors do not welcome ...

    Make a noise now -
    On earth they’ll be locked in a madhouse ...
    I said yesterday to godfather,
    What mushrooms with a darling! .. "
    The Second has the same thoughts:
    “There is a reason in silence ...
    So that at least once in my life
    Drank grandfathers moonshine! "

    And the earth does not sleep with the radar:
    "Board 13, answer me!"
    With the cargo side you are right
    200 meters apart. ”

    Don't get it wrong
    No pilot could:
    “Cargo” - it’s still clear ...
    But what kind of “board” is he ?!

    They have differences with the board:
    No matter how the tractor steams,
    Let, if only for decency,
    I hooked the wings to the roof.

    But the dispatcher is waiting for an answer,
    Just say broadcast? ..
    Like, today I am "with greetings":
    Does the tractor see the commander? ..

    Keep silent - The second will lay.
    He also has a brother-in-law.
    And the loss of communication - too,
    Incidentally, the incident ...

    This is life ... On land, in the sky -
    The same people ...
    Similarly, about a colleague
    Thought our co-pilot ...

    Without asking life for glory
    (That and so beats them with a key)
    Firmly holding the helms
    The crew flies silently ...

    "... Board 13, report! .."
    - the dispatcher became their enemy ...
    "Board 13, confirm
    The discrepancy with the board! "

    Give him now in the face!
    I hooked like an abscess ...
    The guys are about to seem
    Soon there will be a nervous breakdown ...

    Their oppressive silence
    The critical line ...
    “Do you see something there, Vanya?”
    - Clouds alone ... And you?
    "Not passed ... Heather's envy ..." -
    He thinks first with himself.
    “Well, sly one! I wanted to substitute ... "-
    He echoed the thoughts of the Second.

    And the same tractor in the window
    Cumulus melts in a haze ...
    Maybe antigravity
    What crank invented?

    “Cargo”, answer “HSE”! .. -
    Our dispatcher is not his own.
    (Well of course, wait, bro,
    The tractor will contact you ...)

    May he still fly
    But so that he speaks ...
    "... The cargo is in touch ..." (God !!!)
    "The discrepancy confirmed ..."

    Everything ... The end of flying, sky ...
    All that can wait afterwards -
    These are just injections into a vein
    Orderlies and madhouse ...

    “Well, why do we need this tractor? !!
    Let the fire be better! ”
    Yes ... Pilots probably
    At that moment, a blow was enough.

    Only one way out - to wake up ...
    And do not sleep forever!
    “Evade the course,
    Board 13, your mother! ”

    ..................................

    No matter how terrible a secret
    Life will tear off her veil.
    And the heroes of our liner
    Suddenly came out of the clouds ...

    Crazed by nonsense
    Pilots turn the bend.
    And is to their eyes
    Prosaic landscape ...

    Real, visible helicopter
    Peacefully flies into the distance, a bandit ...
    And beneath it on long slings
    Fairytale tractor hanging ...
    Two synchronous loud sighs
    An-2 walked in a wave ...
    Not everything is so bad with your head!
    (Bad, here, without one ...)

    Hiding glances from each other
    Guys, swearing in thoughts ...
    "The 13th board in the glide path!
    Junk something connection ... "

    On the ground sigh furtively:
    “They scared me so that you ... !!!
    Come on the landing.
    We'll figure it out on the ground ... "

    The author stated everything correctly, but for the sake of truth, it must be added that Czechoslovak aircraft were also used on nearby highways.

    Quote: avia12005
    An-2 only needs a ground-based radio station with a leader,

    It may be far, of course, having been doing this for 30 years, but regional (small aviation) is not only the An-2, which, by the way, also needs flight personnel at least somehow and somewhere trained, maintenance equipment with appropriate technical personnel, airfield services, at least some kind of "bed" workshop that produces components, and the organization of movement in the airspace of the Russian Federation, even beyond the Urals, this is not one person with a radio station. Something like this, and on this I think, we can stop our meaningful but useless dialogue, good luck.

    Quote: Less
    This is not logic - this is math
    But the major was much in mathematics:
    He added something there, then multiplied, summed up, and said ...!
    He flew to the USSR and on AN-2,24 and IL-62,18,86 and TU-104,124,134,154 and on other things that also flies from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok from Komi to Central Asia, and after all, only on Soviet machines and now - even galoshes forgot how to do it only buy-sell and stole it in jail if you didn’t manage to escape to London - romance and sometimes it’s a pity that it’s not the 37th!

    The second "aviation" republic of the USSR was Ukraine. Kharkiv, Kiev, Zaporozhye aircraft factories, design bureau im. Antonov - all these enterprises were the pride of the Soviet aircraft industry. They produced An-24, An-26, Tu-134 and others. Naturally - in close cooperation with the rest of the factories and the design bureau of the USSR. The “swan song” of the Ukrainian aircraft industry was the creation of such wonderful machines as the An-124 Ruslan and An-225 Mriya, which were admired by the whole world.
    .
    It was soviet aircraft construction.
